What should I look for in travel insurance?
Check that the cancellation limit matches your trip cost, that your activities are covered, and that the overseas medical and evacuation limits are high enough for your destination. Then read the exclusions before you buy.
Start with the cost of your trip
Cancellation cover should match what you stand to lose in flights, hotels and tours. Insuring for less leaves a gap, while insuring for more simply raises the premium.
Match cover to your activities
Hiking, diving and other adventure sports are often excluded from standard plans. Tell your broker what you plan to do so an add on can be included.
Check medical limits and the fine print
Overseas hospital costs can be very high. Compare the medical limit and emergency evacuation cover, and read the latest travel advisory for your destination before you fly.
